HC Deb 06 March 1984 vol 55 cc537-8W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what provision is to be made for new skill training courses leading to the development of new small businesses in the Greater Manchester council area.

following table, which presents figures for the orders of the 1968 standard industrial classification with the highest numbers of employees in 1971 and 1981, relates to the Hemel Hempstead employment office area and includes Berkhamstead. Comparable figures for years prior to 1971 are not available.

Mr. Peter Morrison

We plan to support over 280 places on 20 small business courses in Greater Manchester in 1984–85.
